April updates: Auto categorize expenses, comments, auto hide settled expenses, jump to friend
April quality of life improvements
SplitMyExpenses continues to get better, week over week, by adding new features and improving existing ones, and squashing bugs. This month, we're excited to announce a bunch of new features that will make managing your expenses even easier.
- Auto categorize expenses
- Comments
- Auto hide settled expenses
- Jump to friend/group
Auto categorize expenses based on description
Simply type in your expense as you normally would, and we will try our hardest to guess what category it belongs to. There is a mapping for English descriptions that cover a wide range of categories. If we can't guess the category, you can always manually select the category.
Examples:
- Costco -> Groceries
- Shirt -> Clothing
- Chevron -> Gas
- ... and 1,000s more
Comments
Expense splitting is sometimes complicated, as we all know. To handle the complexity SplitMyExpenses provides tools to get stuff done, but sometimes there is more to say about an expense split. Now you and others can comment on an expense or payment to provide more context or ask questions.
Simply open an expense or payment, and you will see a comment box at the bottom. Type your comment and hit enter to save it. You can delete your comments at any time.
Auto hide settled up expenses
Seeing less is sometimes better. Now expenses which are settled up will be automatically hidden from the main view. You can always see them by clicking on the "Show settled up expenses" button.
Jump to friend or group
The top search bar now has a purpose! You can type in a friend's name or a group name to quickly jump to their page. This is especially useful when you have a lot of friends or groups.
Conclusion
All of theses features are available now! We hope you enjoy them and that they make managing your expenses even easier. Communication, UI clarity, organization, and automation are key to making SplitMyExpenses the best expense splitting app out there.
